Excited to see “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”? How about watching it with stars Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and director Matt Reeves?

Hero Complex will host a free screening of the new Fox film, presented in Dolby Atmos, at 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 30, at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood.

Following the screening, Serkis, Oldman and Reeves will take the stage for an extended Q&A about the making of the movie, which is due to arrive in theaters July 11.

Set 10 years after 2011’s breakout hit “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” posits a world where apes have developed their own civilization and human sightings are rare.

When a group of survivors — including Jason Clarke’s Malcolm, a single father and former architect; Keri Russell’s Ellie, a nurse; and Oldman’s Dreyfus, the leader of the human colony in the ruins of San Francisco — seeks to restore electrical power to San Francisco, it comes into conflict with the rapidly expanding troop of apes led by Serkis’ Caesar.

The orphaned offspring of a laboratory chimp has evolved into the leader of his tribe that includes wife Cornelia (Judy Greer), teenage son Blue Eyes (Nick Thurston) and a council of close friends.

Conflict between the survivors, however, seems likely to lead only to all-out war, with explosive imagery glimpsed in the latest trailer.
